* When Makepeace argues against Urquhart's moves to make English the language of Europe, the PM tries to make him Minister of Education and an angry Makepeace resigns. It looks to be just another way FU gets ahead...until Makepeace calls a press conference to announce the resignation as his own idea and when pressed on whether Urquhart should step down, replies "[[BorrowedCarchphease You might think that. I couldn't possibly comment.]]"

* Though certainly a MoralEventHorizon moment as well, Francis Urquart gets one at the very end of ''Series/HouseOfCardsUK'' when the IntrepidReporter he had previously seduced confronts him at the House of Parliament's rooftop gardens with evidence of the numerous illegal, successful, {{Batman Gambit}}s that have allowed him to become Prime Minister... and his reaction is to go for RefugeInAudacity and chuck her off the building and claim she committed suicide. And it ''works''. Seriously, everyone I've ever watched it with just drops their jaws at just how far this grandfatherly British UpperClassTwit is willing to go, and how devious he is at getting there.
